As near as I can remember, the silly protection that Creative tried to
impose on the mp3s that are shipped with the njb was located in
Playcenter, not the firmware.  So you may be seeing a more general
problem...  can you successfully download other tracks off the njb?

There's code sitting on my hard drive right now with a lot of new
features.  Including deleting tracks.  I hope to release it fairly soon
now.
